You May Be Diagnosed with a Broken Neck After Bring Injured in a Motor Vehicle Accident, Fall, or Sport Involving Violent Physical Contact. If This Was the Cause of Someone Else's Negligence, Contact a Personal Injury Attorney Immediately.
A cervical fracture occurs when a bone is broken in the neck region of the spine. It is a common injury during high-energy trauma, such as through motor vehicle accidents, falls, or sports involving violent physical contact.
For example, imagine that you were rear-ended by a drunk driver who failed to stop at a red light. The abrupt impact from behind or the twisting of the neck may push your head forward and cause the spine bones to crack or the ligaments to rupture.
Abnormal movement of bones can cause spinal cord injury, resulting in loss of sensation, paralysis, or death. A broken neck is a serious and painful injury that can be identified through an X-ray. Immobilization of the head and neck should be done as early as possible. Treatment for neck injuries may be costly, and physical therapy or surgery may be needed to correct the bones and help you build strength in your muscles.
If you or someone you love has sustained severe injuries to your neck in an auto accident in San Diego that was not your fault, you are entitled to compensation for your medical bills and loss of wages. A neck injury is a common personal injury that happens in an accident when another person is negligent or reckless.
